Visiting Amy’s Farm in Ontario, CA

We stumbled across Amy’s Farm on our search for petting zoo alternatives.  Our daughter Kairi loves animals, and we decided to check it out after a friend’s glowing recommendation.  We weren’t disappointed. Driving into Ontario’s farmland felt like we were in a different state. The change of scenery allowed Kairi to see what it’s like to live on what she decided was “Ol’ McDonald’s farm,” and she had a blast.

What to Expect

It’s important to note that Amy’s Farm is a working farm. So you shouldn’t expect to be greeted or shown around when you arrive. Thankfully, the farm’s layout is easy to understand. From the parking lot, you can head straight to the animals lining the lot. From there you can see Goats, Pigs, Ducks, Chickens, Cows, Sheep, and some Horses. Circling behind the store, you’ll find a small petting zoo of Goats and a garden further past that. Taking your time, you can expect to stay about 30 to 60 minutes on the farm.

Our Experience at Amy’s Farm

We had a fun time visiting Amy’s Farm. Kairi loved seeing all the animals.  Happily leading us all over the farm, Kairi meticulously brought us from one stall to another.  Talking to each animal and asking us questions about what they were eating, sounds they made, etc.  She didn’t want to leave!

We also bought a pumpkin from their pumpkin patch and some fresh eggs from the store.  The eggs were delicious for breakfast the following day.

Should you go?

If your kids love animals, you should consider taking them to Amy’s Farm. It’s a little bit of a trek into Ontario, but it’s only an hour away from most of LA and Orange County. Perfect distance for a mini trip to gets the kids out and away from the city grind. Amy’s Farm is a fun, educational, activity the whole family can enjoy.
